Bathe in the Deep Dubstep sound of Kito and lose yourself in the vocals of Reija

Kito has sliced up herself a small portion of the Dubstep pie for about 3 years now. From the time her sound hit the ears of one of Dubsteps seniors, Skream, through to the recognition from Mary Anne Hobbs, Kito has been drip feeding the scene some of its most intelligent floor rockers.

It was the epic remix of Spors ‘Pacifica’ that brought the deep, polished sounds of Kito to my ears, instantly requiring a feature on a recent sub frequency shouts - here > Kito. As a result it came to the delight of my ears that she has posted up six of her mixes, for download, representing her style from 2009 to present. Get your ears in on this one; this lady of Dubstep and the entrancing vocals of Reija deserve more recognition.

The below mixes start from 2009 and move through to 2011.  By far the most complete mix is the last one in this post from Mad Decent, featuring a wide range of Kito tracks and Reija combinations. Kito Mini Mix for Mary Anne Hobbs 2009 by Kito.

Kito - Stella Sessions Guest Mix for Skream, Rinse FM 2009 by Kito

  Kito - Guest Mix for Knowledge Magazine, 2010 by Kito.

Tribute to DJ Mehdi - Mad Decent

The primary reason for setting up this blog, was that, admittedly I know very little about the vast scope and depth of Electronic and Bass music. Today I was proved correct once again and that there is still much more for me to find and discover. To be alerted of a DJ's death through so many channels instantly focused my attention. So is birthed this blog, written as Tribute to Head Bangers, DJ Medhi.

One part of super group ‘Club 75’, DJ Medhi blends a powerful mix of House and Electro on this Mad Decent Block Party mix from 30th July 2011. My first taste of such a well-crafted mix, picking up so many styles from the genre has left me thirsting for more – 24 mins is a moment of greatness. Anyone out there with more from the man himself please add comments.
